University of Wisconsin-Stout student has been named a winner in the annual Carson 5 and 10 in Eau Claire even before the foot race begins.
Sara Nyhus, from Roberts, won the T-shirt design competition for the 54th annual event, to be held Saturday, Oct. 29, in and around Carson Park. She earned $100 for her work.
Even better, she plans to run in the 10-mile event with family and friends, so she’ll get a chance to see her shirt — featuring a charging Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox — being worn and enjoyed.
“I sketched up a few ideations and picked the best design,”
Experience helps. She is a senior majoring in entertainment design with a concentration in animation; the program has since been renamed animation and digital media. She also has worked in UW-Stout’s Involvement Center part time since April as an animation and motion graphic designer.
